I'm posting this on behalf of two authors as they need to stay anonymous:

Author of Well, Well, Well. What Have We Here?:
@Chicky: While it's possible to end the game so quickly, that's not supposed to be the right solution. Is a bug.
There are actually a couple of them in the game. Unfortunately, it wasn't tested properly because it was in the making until the very last moment.
I'm sorry for that and I hope all who are playing it now will return to play a more polished version, which will be released at the end of the OROW voting.

Author of One Room PMed me that the game has a bug. If you've played and voted then you can download the bug-frre version *here*. Don't download it if you plan on voting later please

[Wyz]

OK played them all
*voted*

Well some really nice games there! I'd like to comment on them but I'd better wait till after the voting.

[AnalogGuy]

There's missing "best music" voting... or I presume it is included to the sound department? It should be best sound/music or something like that, right?

And also, can anyone suggest me anything regarding to "One Room" game. I am so frustrated because I can't simply do anything at the beginning because it does not accept or recognize anything I type into input...

[AJA]

Played and voted. Some great games this time as well! Comments later once the voting ends, which is... when?

Just for the record, I really prefer the previous voting method of "rate every game 1-5 in each category." I wasted a whole sheet of paper rating them, argh!

[Bulbapuck]

Oh, right . Ummm.. Friday? Let's say friday. 22:00 GMT (Thanks )

I actually didn't know that was how the voting was done, I joined these forums in late 2008 and have hence never experienced an OROWC.

Each time you type anything it hints you towards the word dictionary.

Now, what do I do with these colored light balls?

How do you solve this?

Still have a few more to try, but low on time!  Good job everybody who participated!  These are fun!

[TheJBurger]

Excellent, excellent games. Thanks everybody for making them.

Will post comments on all as soon as the voting is over.

It goes to the room with boxes and then freezes?  Is there any actual interaction here or is it just unfinished?

Re: Don't Worry Baby:

Spoiler

Is there a way to stop the baby from asploding?  I don't know how to stop him from touching the electrical outlet.

Re: Well, well, well:

Spoiler

The second clue says go north twice the circumference of the well.  I've clicked the trowel on the grass everywhere along what I'm pretty sure is north from the clue and nothing happens.  Is there something else I'm supposed to be doing?

[close]

My previous questions still stand.  Want to finish them all before voting.  Completed the other four, though.  Some really nice variety among entries.  None of them were generic "Help, I'm stuck in a room and must escape several illogical inventory puzzles" games, which is nice!

- First find all 7 and then pair them up correctly.

Re: By the numbers

Spoiler

How do you solve this?
- My solution: Try all options and in the end with the three addresses try all three.

- Use your arrow keys to move the character, use your keyboard to type in commands (a window pops up)

Bah, thanks Wyz.  I didn't have a lot of time today, so I was just quitting as soon as I got remotely stuck.  Still don't see the logic to By the Numbers and

Spoiler

I thought I tried all three and got the explosion all three times, maybe something is randomized?  I just didn't have the time to sit through the long dialog again.

Vince, here is my experience:

Spoiler

When I was interrogating the man, he mentioned that he kidnapped the child from where they naturally are, or something akin to that. When referencing the location of the two potential addresses, the kidnapper told me that his home was in the middle of nowhere, and his work was near a park. Naturally, I assumed park was the correct choice. But then he threw in that whole thing about your home and your daughter or something, and I just ignored that as pure desperation on his attempt (reading too much into it, I know). Anyway, I chose the work, for its proximity to the park, and I found the correct house with the bomb just in time. Hope that helps? (Probably not)

@VINCE:
By the numbers spoiler ending

Spoiler

I think the plot twist is to get out of the police precinct, which I imagine is what gets blown actually. No matter your response on the addresses, I presume it gets blown away.

I believe it depends on the questions you ask.

When I played it I based my decition on the fact that he was single and some answers that semmed to point towards someone's home. And sure enough, choosing my home got me saving the girl.

Though on my first attempt I failed to get any good information and failed.

Well well well is the only one I haven't beaten yet.  Any help on my above question?

One room

Spoiler

The letter changing puzzle - the font is so weird - is this a y or a g?

[close]

Well, well, well

Spoiler

I also had the sudden ending bug when using the rope on the well. How can I avoid it?

It's a g

Voted like a boss. Thoroughly confused. Strangely pleased. Short sentences.

[Bulbapuck]

The author of Well, Well, Well. What Have We Here asked me to say this:

@Vince:

Spoiler

The puzzle is supposed to be viewed through the eyes of the in-game character, so the distance actually needs to be measured with something. You need to use this item with the well's opening instead of the base and that's a bit confusing, but such things will get fixed as soon as possible.

[close]

Also:

Spoiler

The solution of the third stone should lead you to finishing the game, which now happens with clicking the white stone. This is actually the wrong hotspot to click, but since nothing else can be done at the moment, just click the white stone once you reach the third stone puzzle. (you miss one riddle that way, so I apologize for that, but as I said, it will get fixed.)

EDIT: A message from me

Could someone upload a mirror for the games on another site? I've been trying to do so myself for the past 3 hours but my connection is too poor.. Thanks
